4oz sample at Churchkey’s 3 Stars 1st Anniversary event. Cask pours a translucent gold with some filmy, white head. Big lime nose, basil, tarragon, anise, coconut, green peppercorn. Flavor is lightly malty, peppery, green bell pepper, citrus, anise, some tarragon. All flavors are well balanced. Lightly chalky, peppery finish. Refreshing and unique.

Had this at RFD after the Snallygaster Beer Fest in Washington DC. Poured a cloudy, hazy yellow color with a solid white head. Aroma was certainly basil, with plenty of notes of sweet grains and some citrus tartness there. Lemon is there in the flavor, surrounded by notes of basil, yeast notes.

Draft at the source. Hazy golden amber color, small white head. Aroma of lime, lemon, straw. Taste is bright citrus, tangy edge, raw white bread dough. Basil is there, but subtle enough. Very easy to drink. Batch #2, draft at the source. This is a brand new recipe, and might be a new entry. Hazy yellow color, large white head, solid lacing. Aroma of subtle herb, subtle lemon. Taste is lime with a bitter and herbal edge. Delicious.
